Oh, I've been around computers long enough to know not to ask THAT!  
(Apple ][, TRS-80; Atari, Amiga....)

But my assumption/experience is that various distributions target 
various audiences.  (I remember the Corel one having Wizard-everything; 
conversely I've installed -- some years ago -- by searching for a 
kernel that had the basic drivers I needed, creating a boot-floppy on 
Windows....)

Actually, I think the "distrowatch" site has what I need where it 
describes some history and motivation...rather than popularity.  Thanks 
to all for the help.
